Chapter 7 Stay here and be my little sister
While immersed in the Bluesilver Grasss world, Tang Wulin thought he heard many voices. These voices came in bits and pieces, yet were everywhere.
Bluesilver Grass was gentle, but it had tenacious vitality. It was the most abundant plant on the continent. Their staunch existence traced back tens of millions of years.
Powerful soul beasts from that era were on the verge of extinction, but Bluesilver Grass covered the planet, the same as it did tens of thousands of years ago.
Tang Wulins faint awareness allowed him to sense the tiny existences in the air, as they were quietly absorbed into his body. Those existences blended completely in his feeble soul power. This fusion was neither fast nor substantial, yet he could still sense that this fusion was gradually increasing his soul power. Although it was only increasing it slightly, this increase was stable and persistent.
After an unknown period of time, Tang Wulin naturally awakened from his state of meditation. His body felt cool and relaxed, as if he was wrapped up in countless strands of Bluesilver Grass.
However, he was given a fright when he saw his father sitting opposite of him.
Dad, how come youre home so early? Tang Wulin asked in astonishment.
Tang Ziran smiled, Im not early. Its already night time. I see that youve already learnt meditation? It seems the Red Mountain Academys education is pretty good!
Tang Wulin excitedly responded, Thats right! It seems that I can meditate now. Earlier, it felt as if many little things entered my body, dad. Afterwards, my soul power began increasing. Can this be considered as learning meditation?
Tang Ziran was startled within his heart. In only one day, Tang Wulin was able to grasp the secrets of meditation? The things his son had sensed was definitely the art of meditation! This wasnt as simple as good instruction. Originally, he himself...
Yes, thats right. Youve learned how to meditate. It seems that my sons comprehension abilities are pretty good! Tang Ziran has always been generous with praise towards his son. One must praise ones child when one saw their growth after all. For children, confidence was the most important thing.
Tang Wulin couldnt help but be proud of himself when his father praised him. However, Tang Ziran interjected solemnly before Tang Wulin could respond.
Son, theres something I need to ask you.
Tang Wulin rarely saw his father so serious, so he immediately restrained himself. Whats the matter dad? Have I done something wrong? You said that men have to be brave enough to battle villains. Furthermore, I didnt fight the other students when they ridiculed my Bluesilver Grass at school today. I was very obedient.
Tang Ziran answered, Theres nothing wrong with being brave. But you also need to be wise in addition to being brave. When you know you dont have enough power to save others, then you must seek the help of others rather than rushing forward. If they werent scared off by you showing your martial soul, you would have been caught up in a dangerous situation son. That isnt brave, its reckless.
Tang Wulin contemplated this and took it to heart before lowering his head. I was wrong Dad.
It was only now that Tang Zirans smile reappeared. His son only had to be willing to acknowledge his mistake for him to truly realize his error.
Men wont make that kind of mistake.
Hn. Tang Wulin nodded.
Tang Ziran smiled. Good then. Lets discuss the next matter.
Tang Wulin asked in surprise, Theres still another matter?
Tang Ziran let out a grunt. Naturally, right when you turn six years old, you bring home a girl. Then what will you be like when youve grown up? Whats more, you were the hero who saved a beauty. Not bad!
It was only now that Tang Wulin remembered the matter of Naer and hurriedly asked, Dad, has Naer found her family? Shes certainly very pretty.
Tang Ziran shook his head. Your mother brought her to the administrative office to inquire, but we didnt find her information.
Tang Wulin asked, Then whats going to happen to her?
Tang Ziran responded, You tell dad. What do you want to do?
Tang Wulin pondered over this. How about we let her live with us dad? Is that alright?
Tang Ziran revealed a smile that wasnt quite a smile as he look at him. Live in our house? Mom and dad couldnt possibly take care of two children!
Tang Wulin hastily said, I can take care of her. I can look after her after school.
Tang Ziran smiled. Alright then. Lets eat first.
When he entered the living room, Tang Wulin was surprised to see Naer already sitting at the dinner table with a docile appearance.
Naer! Tang Wulin shouted before bouncing vivaciously to her side and very naturally began pulling on her delicate small hand.
Lang Yue said, We couldnt find any records on this child. We can only send her to the orphanage.
No! Let Naer stay mom. Tang Wulin stood in front of Naer with his arms spread wide. Dont send her to the orphanage. Cant we let her stay here? At worst, Ill just have to eat a little less in the future.
Naer raised her head, and looked at Tang Wulin in a daze. Tang Wulins body wasnt big or tall, but when Naer saw him protecting her, she couldnt help but tear up a bit.
Lang Yue said, Linlin, you cant do as you wish and take the place of her family. You have to ask Naer if she wants to stay here or go to the orphanage!
Tang Wulin immediately turned around, looking directly at Naer. Naer, why dont you stay with us? My mom makes really good food, and my dad is really nice. You can live together with me, and Ill definitely protect you. Ive always wanted to have a younger sister. Why dont you stay and be my younger sister?
En. Unexpectedly, Naer took the initiative to nod this time.
Yay. This is great, I have a younger sister now. Tang Wulin happily bounced up and down.
Afterwards, it was discovered that the children were unable to control their hunger. Despite the fact that Lang Yue had made extra food today, it still wasnt enough to satisfy the two big eaters. That was right, not only did Tang Wulins food capacity increase, that petite body of Naers was also a bottomless pit. Unexpectedly, her stomach wasnt any smaller than Tang Wulins. They even ate the lunch Lang Yue had prepared for Tang Ziran to eat the next day. Even after all that, they didnt look satisfied at all.
The house only had two rooms, and with the addition of Naer, she could only share a room with Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin and Tang Ziran had put up a divider in the middle of the room.
Naer was very tired, falling asleep quickly.
Dad, Im going to meditate now. Tang Wulin felt unusually satisfied when he was meditating, and was impatiently desiring to feel that sensation again. He wanted to become a Soul Master. He had even more reason to become powerful now. He now had a little sister to protect.
